sure. Whether the bride holds an umbrella during marriage depends mainly on personal preferences and local customs. Wearing a red umbrella during marriage is a custom in many parts of China, with the meaning of providing shelter from wind and rain, spreading branches and leaves, and protecting the bride from evil spirits. If you don't want to use an umbrella, it won't have any impact on your marriage. It's up to your own will.
Who is responsible for holding an umbrella for the bride
1. Bridesmaids
It is common in southern regions for bridesmaids to hold umbrellas for brides. The bridesmaids chosen by brides are usually close friends who understand and trust each other. It is a good choice for them to hold umbrellas. Moreover, having good friends to accompany the bride when getting married will make her feel more at ease.
2. Bride's mother
One of the important functions of holding a red umbrella is to protect the bride, and trustworthy women are usually chosen for this job. Mothers are the ones who love their daughters the most, and it is very common for the bride's mother to hold an umbrella. When a daughter gets married, the mother will be very reluctant. Spending more time with the daughter while holding an umbrella can make the mother feel at ease and relieved.
3. Bride's brother
There is an old saying that the elder brother is like a father, and when the younger sister gets married, the older brother needs to take on the responsibility of protecting the younger sister. Letting the older brother hold the umbrella can balance the aura and give the younger sister confidence and confidence.
